You may have been able to find them yourself if you knew how, so I'll tell you exactly how I found them so you may be able to find them for yourself next time: 1) I identified the camera better. To do this I used the #'s you provided 36956 ($905c) for a Google search in order to find the Vendor ID # which you didn't include. Normally you need BOTH a Device ID# and Vendor ID# to identify a piece of hardware. I determined that the Vendor ID was likely 10096 and the Device ID was 36956. 2) Using Calculator.app, under ViewProgrammer with the Dec (decimal) button selected, I inserted each of the decimal IDs and then hit the Hex button to convert them to the more common hexadecimal versions, in your case these would be 0x905c and 0x2770. I then used the search terms 0x905c 0x2770 Macintosh in Google without the quotes. 3) In the Google search results for 0x905c 0x2770 Macintosh the 7th hit was for macam : Support Cameras for which I selected the Cached link to get the search terms highlighted for quicker scanning: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enclient=safarirls=en-usq=0x905c+0x2770+macintoshaq=foq=aqi= 4) The fifth row of the Cached macam : Support Cameras webpages list the camera with your matching hexadecimal Device Vendor IDs and under Status says depends (OEM) which means support isn't provided by Macam, but IS provided by OEM software.

Other more or less stock wireless suggestions would be: 1) If you're not using the 802.11g in your AEg then turn off that radio so it can't interfere with the AEn. 2) If you ARE using both the 802.11g and 802.11n, then try to locate the routers at least 5-10 feet apart and at least 1 foot from a wall. If they are both using the 2.4 GHz band, then make sure the channels they are using are as far apart as possible. 3) Postition the AirPort(s) as high and as centrally located as possible to get the best coverage signal strength. (Just read a thread from someone complaining about how bad his wireless n was. Turns out he had his router on the floor of a closet. Moving it to the top apparently made a very noticeable difference to his throughput.)

Is my Powermac G4 MDD calling itself out?
Hi there, I have a Powermac G4 MDD, with dual 1.42 processors, that I have been using for the past three years. A couple of weeks ago, when I shut the machine down, right before it went off altogether,but after the hard drive parked, I heard a distinct two beat (and beep) melody coming from inside the case, as opposed to the speaker. At the time, I brushed it aside as some sort of fluke. But, last night, my Powermac called out again. The entire event lasts less than a second and consists of a high tone, followed by a lower tone. If anybody's familiar with the old Milton Bradley handheld baseball game the tones coming from my Mac are almost exactly the same as the tones one gets when a third out is attained - just a quick Bee- boop. Is there a significance to these tones? If so, what do they mean? Is my Mac trying to warn me of it's demise? Any help with this would be most appreciated.

If anybody's familiar with the old Milton Bradley handheld baseball game the tones coming from my Mac are almost exactly the same as the tones one gets when a third out is attained - just a quick Bee- boop. Is there a significance to these tones? If so, what do they mean? Is my Mac trying to warn me of it's demise? Any help with this would be most appreciated. It didn't sound more like an old vinyl record having a needle scraped across it? My hard drive sent that though my audio system once when I had to shut it down by holding the power button in ... I believe that was somewhat of a disk crash ... seems to be still functioning though. No record scratching here (just thinking of that sound makes me wince), just two beeps. :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Airport N + dialup?
Thanks for lots of interesting replys. I'm not sure what I'll do. Does anyone know if a usb modem would work in the usb port of the Airport Extreme n? Apparently you can connect multiple drives and printer(s) using a usb hub. If a modem would work it might solve my problem.

ethernet port gone bad - need advise on adapter, etc. Please.
G4 Sawtooth - 400, OS 10.4.8 We had a massive lightning storm last night and after reading a bunch of post and trying out 3 different cables I've come to the conclusion that I zapped my ethernet port. I'm a little miffed about this as I DID spend the money on good surge protectors. On the other hand I'm thankful that everything else seems to be working fine. (and I have a PB with which I can still access the net) I opened up the machine and saw that the ethernet port is built right into the board so this is not a quick fix situation. Nor a cheap fix. I've decided to try the apple USB ethernet adapter. But from what I understand it will only work on OS 10.5.2. How can I upgrade without the internet connection? And can my Sawtooth handle 10.5.2? Is there some way to connect my old G4 titanium PB (10.4.11/500) to the sawtooth and transfer the files? Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.

Try disconnecting all the hard drives and turning it on then off. Try to listen to where the sound is coming from.

Re: PowerMac G3 wont boot after Tiger effort
I've tried the CUDMA Reset, and now (after a few minutes) it cycles around with a flashing disk image. I have DVD ROM attached temporarily (ie case open), and even though there's disc in it, it won't start up. It seems something is wrong because it spends 3-4 mins on a black screen, after the chimes.
